Now that I have a handle on Weber fuel plumbing, I am moving on to oil vapor hoses. The engine I am installing is my first with carbs. Can someone tell me what the two small open pipes beside the intake manifolds are for? I assume they are on stock FI engine and I just never noticed them.
I believe I need some sort of vapor cannister (have seen one made by K&N). Do I connect it to the plastic nipple at the oil filler and then to the two nipples at the manifolds? Is this a crankcase vent system? Is there a PCV valve needed? By now you can tell that I'm not real sure I know what I'm doing! |

One more thing... if you have a carbed engine that leaks and leaks... you now know why it leaks. We run a huge breather box with a radiator hose leading to the oil fill to properly vent the case. We pull it off to fill the engine with oil. Its angled back towards the trunk where our breather "box" resides.
